When light, turn out.

Use as little flour as possible, and knead for fifteen minutes; less time being required, as part of the kneading has already been done.
GRAHAM BREAD.
One quart of wheat sponge; one even quart of graham flour; half a teacupful of brown sugar or molasses; half a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little hot water; and half a teaspoonful of salt.
Pour the sponge in a deep bowl; stir in the molasses, &c, and lastly the flour, which must never be sifted.

The mixture should be so stiff, that the spoon moves with difficulty.

Bake in two loaves for an hour or an hour and a quarter, graham requiring longer baking than wheat.
If no sponge can be spared, make as follows: One pint of milk or water; half a cup of sugar or molasses; half a cup of yeast; one teaspoonful of salt; one cup of wheat flour; two cups of graham.

Warm the milk or water; add the yeast and other ingredients, and then the flour; and set in a cool place--about 60 deg.
